Plein Air Oil Paintings: Palm Springs Landscapes
January 30, 2010
Here are a couple of quick plein air paintings I did on a recent trip to Palm Springs.
Tiny Cloud
6″ x 8″
oil on linen on panel
I painted this one because I liked the soft, luminous colors of the desert and the tiny cloud in the vastness of the landscape.
Desert Windmill
8″ x 6″
oil on linen on panel
I love all the windmills off the highway going to Yucca Valley. The newer ones are so sleek and white, like the snow-covered mountains in the distance.

Now I miss the desertness of LA.
Wow, could it be that I miss the San Fernando Valley? Of all the places to miss.

That’s so funny, missing the S.F Valley. I bet you won’t be missing the 110 degree weather when it is fire season!
